Aug. 19 Captain Hicks Murray, of tho Gordon Highlanders, shot his two children dead today, wounded his wife and then set fire to his house, burning the bodies of the two children, a third child, a woman who has not yet been (Identified, and either himself or a man of his own height and weight. Mrs. Murray alone was rescued. She said sho did not know anyone but the members of the Murray family were in the house when it was burned.

From Varley Kirtland, the agent who had the renting of the place in charge. It was learned, however, that Richard C. Mackle, an American, with wife and child, had been occupying the premises. Their lease expired today, but Mackie had told Kirtland he would renew U. Instead he has not called upon Kirtland, and neigh bors think he and bis family moved out Saturday.

At any rate, the Murrays took pos session yesterday, the agent remain ing Ignorant of the fact that there had been a change in tenants. The police Burmise that the neighbors were mistaken In assuming that the Mackies had left and are convinced that the unidentified woman is Mrs. Mnckie and the child hers. Whether the man's body taken from the ruins is Murray's or Mackle's Is uncertain however. It is burned beyond recogni tion.

Mrs, Murray said she woke at 5.30 a. today and asked her husband for a cup of tea. In an Instant he flew into a frenzy, seized his pistol, and shot the children and herself, She remembers nothing further. In vestigation by the police, shows, how ever, that the murderer must have laid the bodies of his victims in row and covered them with petrol before starting the fire. The police incline to the view that the man's corpse is Mackie's and that Murray escaped.

Mrs. Murray be lieves that her husband killed him' self after firing the house. An unburncd and unsigned note was found, presumably written by Murray, reading: "I am absolutely ruined, so am killing all who are dependent on me. 1 would like to have them buried in the same grave. God forgive me." CONGRESS HOPES TO END THIS WEEK By The United Press.

He also said specifically warned George B. Cor telyou, then national chairman, not to accept money from Standard Oil. Colonel Roosevelt also took occa sion to answer statements made at the close of the 1904 campaign by Judge Alton B. Parker, relative to corporation contributions to the Republican campaign fund. In part the Colonel said: "As regards Senator Penrose's statement I ha only to say that I have not and never have hid the slightest knowledge whether he or anyone else during th campaign of 1904 raised any money, to be used in carrjing the State of New York.

"But as a matter of fat. It happened that In the campaign of 1904. I wrote to Mr. Cortelyou stating that I wished no money received from the Standard Oil Company. If any money was received from the Standsrd Oil Company, it was without my knowledge.

In spite of mv written prohibition. As for the fund used or raised In Pennsylvania I had no more knowledge of them than of the funds used or raised tn Ohio or Illinois.

After services refreshments were served downstairs in the meeting rooms, which were tastefully decorated in American and Zionist colois. The congregational members of both generations had a material as well as spiritual banquet Following is the English text of the Bar Mitzvah oration: "Depart ye, depart ye, ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of hdr; be ye clean, that bears vessels of the Lord.

For ye shall not go out lth haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your reward. "Conditions In life are changed in two different manners: revolution and evolution. The first is a quick method, but it is not always certain. The second is slower, slower but surer. When the prophet wishes to represent the golden future, he declares: Depart ye from hateful life of exile.

Turn from it. Do not defile Liberty with hands soiled in exile. Depart from exile lands. First purify yourselves, ye Godlike bearers of culture. For not In haste will you leave your exile; not in fight will you go honce; God goes before you; He walks In advance and assembles you all together, the God of Israel.

"The Zionist movement whose life la only a decade and a half Is a full Interpretation of the words of the prophet Zionism calls first of all to free herself from all humilltatlon. She seeks first to redeem her soul from exile, and when the soul passes from slavery into liberty, then tbe body must be emancipated too. "Cleanse the soul" cry tho Zionists. First free yourselves from slavish assimilating influences. 'Don't be slave? within Express yourselves wherever you may be, as rroud Hebrew bearerB of culture.

Lot Jewish culture Decome visioie, Jewish traciition.4 ana ambitions more striking, and the Jew ish goal will be ultimately w'rhln your reach. Not through revolution but through evolution will come re demption. The Zionlstic will be realized through paf.enca and perserverance, through hope and faith, self-respect and self confidence, through slow preparation and devel opment evolution! Give us first an Independent people and we rave an Independent land.

When the 'Am Israel' will free Itself from foreign Ideals, then 'Eretz Israel' will be re deemed from foreign hands. It must cornfe slowly, with deliberation, with plenty of forethought Haste ill not do us any good. Evolution! "The last few lines of to-day's Ha-ftara, in which there is expressed, In a comprehensive way, the evolution of a Jew as a race, can also serve as an expression of the development of the Jewishness of the Individual. In two way can one become a Jew: Through revolution and through evolution. The first can be applied to tbe born Gen tile, ho suddenly has taken up arms against the religion of his birth, and turned to Judaism.

As to him, tbe Talmud says: 'The convert sits upon Israel like tho taint of a For revolutionary Judaism is not sure Judaism, and cannot long exist The second method of becoming a Jew is through evolution; through natural preparation and development. It means being born and bred in a Jewish home. And at the age of 13. becoming Bar Mitzvah, a thorough Hebrew with tbe duties of a Hebrew. The process is slow but therefore, It is certain.

"In the thirteen years of my life I have familiarized myself with my religion. I have learned to love and cherish the faith of our fathers. In love for my father, I bear alao a love for his religion, and as long as I cannot deny my parents, or more correctly, my ego, neither can my religion be denied by me. "It Is a shameless He to declare Judaism as a misfortune. The thought alone that I am a Jew makes me happy.

I am proud of my religion for which I owe thanks to my respected parents, the proud members of the house of Israel. And my prayer to the God of Israel is that the people of Israel be brought back to the old new Land of Israel. Amen."
